Consider the given data set consisting of the number of texts sent by students during lunch.

0, 2, 3, 5, 5, 7, 8, 8, 8, 8, 9,9.9,9,10,10, 10, 10, 10, 11, 11, 11, 11, 11, 12, 12. 12. 12. 12, 12

The mean for this data set is 8.9 and the median is 10.

One student texted 48 times during lunch and we added her data point to the original data

set so that it now looks like this:

0, 2, 3, 5, 5, 7, 8, 8, 8, 8, 9,9,9,9,10,10, 10, 10, 10, 11, 11, 1111, 11, 12, 12. 12, 12, 12, 12, 48

What measure of center will be most affected by the new data point?

The mean will be most affected.

Answer:

The mean.

Step-by-step explanation:

48 messages is a very high compared to the rest of the data so it will effect the mean. The median and the mode will be unchanged and the IQR will only change slightly. The mean will change form 8.9 to 10.2.

Consider the absolute value inequality: |x - 6| > 20. Will the graph of the solutions to the inequality result in an "and" or

Dmitrij [34]

Step-by-step explanation:

Case 1 : |x| > a, => x > a or x < -a

Case 2 : |x| < a, => -a < x < a

Since this question follows Case 1, we will have an "or" inequality.

Point G is the centroid of triangle ABC. AG = (5x+4) units and GF= (3x-1) units. What is A F?

Vika [28.1K]

Because G is the centroid of the triangle, therefore AG = 2GF
That is, 5x + 4 = 2(3x - 1)
5x + 4 = 6x - 2
4 + 2 = 6x - 5x
6 = x
Therefore AG = 5*6 + 4 = 34
GF = 3*6 - 1 = 17
A.F = AG + GF = 34 + 17 = 51
Answer: 51

Find the measure of each angle.

Galina-37 [17]

Given:

Given that the isosceles trapezoid JKLM.

The measure of ∠K is 118°

We need to determine the measure of each angle.

Measure of ∠L:

By the property of isosceles trapezoid, we have;

$\angle K+\angle L=180^{\circ}$
